The modern classic seems to be, "Is pineapple on pizza okay?" To be followed up by, "New York style or Chicago pizza?"
And for foodies, "Best style of BBQ: Western Carolina, Eastern Carolina, Alabama, Kansas City, or Texas style?"
Love your point about reading a book at the right time in life, that's key.
You mention Bell Jar and Catcher, I loved those also and also link them together. I saw Bell Jar as the "young woman's" version of Catcher, both had that sassiness to them (and sadness underneath in the case of Bell Jar.
I started Goldfinch but it didn't connect with me and I gave up. Maybe I'll revisit.
Yup. The "gimmies" don't work. Like you say, most handout sats would fly out of those folks hands. But, in a way, they'd eventually wind up in the hands of somebody who put forth work, eg whomever sold whatever was purchased. They actually did something to get those sats beyond just having an ssn number and breathing oxygen. Frankly, even the scammers are doing some kind of work to get sats. I think of the old Nascar saying, "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'."
low quality stickers This. The LQS crowd takes over and spews litter, territories raise sat rates to post to the point where no rational stacker wants to post (it's called Stacker News, not Spender News).
I'm pulling for Tyson. Paul seems too cocky to me (though I honestly have no idea who this dude is...I see him described as a "YouTuber" which is #1 likely why I don't know who he is and #2 a top reason I'm rooting against him). My guess is Tyson will go in like a bull early, like he always did, Paul will try to jab him away, use his length advantage, and dance away to try to wear him down. Your take about Tyson getting him early makes sense. In basically every fight he was in that's exactly what happened time after time after time.
I think Paul will win solely due to age. If Tyson catches him in the first couple of rounds with a hard shot, he might drop Paul. My guess is that power is still not a problem for Mike Tyson. But, the longer the fight goes on the more it stands to lean toward Paul winning. If he's smart, he'll fight smart and stay away from Tyson early. But, I don't know!
Bottom line, looking forward to a Mike Tyson fight is a real throwback and flashback in time.
That speech he gave at Davos, wow. Would love to hear what is said at Mar a Lago.

FBI raided Polymarket guy's home. Kind of crazy. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/11/14/fbi-polymarket-ceo-shayne-coplan/76289111007/?tbref=hp
I don't think it's realistic to think that states will be dismantled. Maybe that's an aspiration for some, but then there's reality.
I guess we'll see. In all honesty most of them are on a spectrum rather than yes or no. Kinda why I made this report card to nuance it out.
This is very educational and neatness thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to "Satoshi Day" when 1 sat equals 1 penny. https://satoshibitcoinconverter.on.fleek.co/pages/satoshiday.html
